That was pretty much the analysis he was given after his junior year (where they labeled him a low 2nd to high 3rd round pick). It's part of the reason he came back for his senior season.
His stats were down last year, but the things he was asked to work on for an NFL resume, he became really, really good at. He's got a much better bull rush (which better sets up his other moves), sets the edge with force now, takes on multiple blockers with more tenacity, and still had several wow plays just from having amazing football instincts.
He can play either inside or outside at the next level, can play in either a 3-4 or 4-3, but will definitely be a pass rusher on obvious throw downs.
